134: Pointing Others to the Lamb (Walking with Jesus Series #005: John 1:35-51)
John the Baptist directed his disciples to become followers of Jesus, thereby bringing John’s ministry to a close. Pastor Hollandsworth discusses the priority of discipleship in the Great Commission and also explains why Jesus promised Nathanael kingdom inheritance.
130: The Most Misinterpreted Verse of the Bible (Walking with Jesus Series #001: Matt. 3:1-12)
John the Baptist introduced the ministry of Jesus with a call for the nation to repent. Most evangelicals assume this is one of the requirements for salvation. However, Pastor Hollandsworth demonstrates clearly from the text that repentance is NOT a requirement for salvation, for John was preaching to believers, not unbelievers.
125: Looking Unto Jesus (Hebrews Series #33: Heb. 12:1-3)
The Christian life is like a race – a long, grueling marathon. God wants us to lay aside the weights and sins that trip us up or cause us to stumble. We are to run the race with endurance, looking to Jesus. Pastor Hollandsworth discusses the things that cause defeat and the way to find ultimate victory.
075: The Paradox of Far Yet Near (Greatness of God Series #03: His Nearness)
When we consider the vastness of the universe, God seems so far away. Yet when we ponder the intricacies of the microscopic realm, He seems near. Pastor Hollandsworth explores the paradox of God being far, yet near, from a dimensional standpoint, and he explains how mere humans can have fellowship with a God who transcends our dimensions.
062: The Word of Faith Is Near You (Romans Series #23: Rom. 10)
The Romans Road method of witnessing typically culminates in Rom. 10:9, 13, with a plea to be saved by confessing the Lord Jesus and calling upon the name of the Lord. However, this is not how “salvation” is used in the book of Romans. Pastor Hollandsworth explains that salvation for national Israel is deliverance from God’s wrath and consequent destruction. For individual children of God – both Jews and Gentiles – it is deliverance from sinning and self-destruction. He also points out the meaning of “the word of faith” and in what sense it is “near you.”
